When Christina Hendricks got the call to star in a sequel to 2008’s The Strangers, a movie that she said was the “scariest movie I’ve ever seen, and I love scary movies,” the decision was a no-brainer.

“I just said yes immediately. If the script is as good as the last one and they can make it as good as the last one, then I definitely want to do it,” Hendricks said. The actress stars in Aviron Pictures’ The Strangers: Prey at Night, out March 9, as the matriarch of a dysfunctional family whose one-night stopover at a trailer park turns deadly as a group of masked strangers stalk them. “I get to scream and run and be terrified, and I really was actually terrified, that’s not fake terror!” she said.
